write a feedback

I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent production of The Secrets of the Old Cabinet on Malaya Bronnaya. Both me and my children (8 and 10 years old) loved everything! Firstly, all the main ideas of the work are perfectly conveyed. Secondly, the scenery is beyond praise. I especially remember the transition from reality to Narnia. Third, great acting. All played very well without exception. The children are simply delighted, although they admitted that it was difficult to sit for so long. Nothing, they are already big, it's time to get used to it. I recommend viewing to everyone.

I liked everything very much! I was at the "Mystery of the Old Cupboard" with my daughter, we read the book beforehand. They managed to stage an excellent performance based on such a voluminous work. My daughter especially liked the blue squirrels, and I especially liked the wolves. Straight hit. Yes, and the actors played very, very worthy - you can’t find fault. Definitely worth a visit, you will be satisfied.

be sure to go with the children to the mystery of the old closet !!! you will not regret!!! just don’t save on tickets - we were in the 3rd row of the amphitheater, a woman with a small child was sitting in front. almost immediately she took him in her arms and everything !!! my Sofochka (we are 5 years old) didn’t really see anything anymore, the whole first compartment was spinning. Story-wise, it's perfect for me. Of course, in some places it is tightened, but this does not interfere at all. and yes, don’t take very young children there - they will whine, cry and ask to go home. the show is pretty big. Sophie didn't even look at it. Let's go again - when it grows a little.

Let's talk about the well-known children's play at the theater on Malaya Bronnaya. The script is based on the story English writer Clive Staples Lewis "The Lion, the Witch and wardrobe” (1950) - the first of the fantasy series “The Chronicles of Narnia”. This production has been on the stage of the theater for 6 years, it is popular, especially on the eve of new year holidays so tickets should be booked in advance.

Colorful, loud, dynamic - the overall impression of the performance. Beautiful costumes, cute magical characters: red fawn, blue squirrels, purple beavers. Set transformations transport girls and boys from Professor Kirk's house to Narnia and back, snow falls and flowers bloom on the stage. Actors move around the hall, ask children questions and listen to their prompts, dance and sing.

The performance consists of two acts. Before the intermission, the plot of the tale develops in detail, the second act is more rapid and schematic. Peter, Edmund and Lucy (played by adult actors) come to the professor's house for a tour with a camera, like a museum. And then the plot is familiar: the children climb into an old closet and end up in Narnia, where it has been winter for 100 years and the White Witch rules. At the end of the play, good, as usual, triumphs over evil, and the children become kings of Narnia.

The play "The Secret of the Old Cabinet" at the theater on Malaya Bronnaya

Theater official website

The best age to attend this performance is older preschoolers and junior schoolchildren(marking 6+ is absolutely correct). Babies are absolutely scared at the performance: loud noises, darkness.

There is a moment in the play when the queen stabs the lion Aslan on a stone table with a sword, and he dies. Then he is resurrected, referring us to the gospel story. But the episode can make a strong impression, be prepared to answer questions. And also about Adam and Eve, who is a faun, why Santa Claus is in blue, and not in red, like all decent Santa Clauses.

“Mystery of the Old Wardrobe”- a good format for both the first acquaintance with the Chronicles of Narnia, and for a new meeting with your favorite heroes of a fairy tale.

Organizational moments

Ticketers in the hall affectionately but insistently ask to turn off phones and other toys. Taking pictures during the performance is not allowed, but at the end, when the actors come to bow, please.

During the intermission, you can have a snack with sandwiches and cakes in the buffet at the exit from the hall.

Some children eat homemade breakfast boxes and look at portraits in the foyer.
